PULPIT AND PLATFORM.

CONGRESS STREET METHODIST CHURCH.
AT the Congress street Methodist church
yesterday afternoon Bishop John NJ. Walden
preached to large congregation, every pew
and settee being filed. Revs. Messrs. Tink-
er, Bashford and Clark were present and
participatedin the services.
Bishop Walden took his text from the Cos
pei OF st. Matthew xi, 81: "All things are
delivered unto me of my Father, and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father, neither
knoweth any man the Father save the Son,
and he to whomsoever the son will reveal
him" Bishoe Walden said, the Saviour
speaks here as teacher. He came to reveal
God as father. God had been known as the
creator and very many of what, in theologl-
cal terms, we call the attributes of God had
been known. You will notice that Jesus
said neither knoweth any man, the father
save the SON." So He came to make God
known as the father. And you will find by
close study, that in no place in the old rev.
elatlon did God call himself the father of his
children. In some places He speaks of him
self as having the feelings of father to-
wards men, but He does not distinctly say
He is their father. Jesus first taught of God

as the father. In the opening words of the
Lords prayer: "Our Father, which art in
Heayen;" the revelation was first put into
human ears. Jesus revealed God as father
in special sense. There are those who
teach that because God is the creator He is
the father of all, but Jesus declared God the
father of those who would put away wick
edness. God is not respecter of persons,
but he is respeeter of character.
[ want now to turn your thoughts for lit
tie while to the influence of this declaration
We see how those who were born in sin can
become the children of God and become con-
sciouS of their new state. Ihat is great
truth and must have great influence.
Wherever you find man you ma him try
ing to find how near he can come to God.
You find this attribute of mans nature in the
heather lands where the man makes his idol
to Worship You find it manifest in every
altar ever erected, in every religious pilgrim
age ever made. Jesus comes to tell MS just
how near we can come to God.
When the spirit of God came Eupon the
disciples at the day of Pentecost they cried,
abba, Father" recognizing that they had
been made the children of God, and by the
influence of the spirit they became earnest
and courageous advocates of Christ sreligion
As another instance of the influence of this
truth, we see John and Charles Wesley
searching the Bible and learning this great
faith that God is the father of men and that
men receive divine manifestation of their
salvation. Dock at the result of this. From
the first congregation, numbering five per-
sons, the MethodistS have grown until they
now number 100000.
l know it is said that the doctrine of Chris
tian perfection is said to be the characteris-
tic doctrine of the Methodist church. John
Wesley enforced this doctrine and it is init
mately related to the truth that God reveals
lImCQlf n phil0rnp n { fhnir fot u.
we become conscious of this through the
witness of the spirit, but this latter truth
underlies the other. BY the preaching of the
fatherhood of God comes soonest revival and
awakening of Christian faith.
There is one thing | would impress upon
the Sunday school teachers, and that is the
relationship of the truths of scripture. Every
Sunday school should be taught with the aid
of the concordance. Carry with you into
your business and homes the idea that you
are doing your Fathers will and helping to
carry out his purposes.
One other thing want to impress upon my
hearers Is that in the midst of our sorrows
Goa VIII give strength and comfort.

with infiammatory rheumatism of the muscles of
the back. The doctors thought her case hopeless
and doomed her to be bedridden invalid. The
violent pain kept her awake almost every night
She lost over thirty pounds in weight. To ease
her pain thought would put on ALLcocK's
Porous PLAsTERs. l covered her back with
them. To my great delight she began to sleep
wen. The pain very much abated in one week.
then took the plasters off, washed her back, and
put on fresh ones. At the end of the second
week she insisted on getting up, and by the third
week was entirely well and able to attend TO her
